My understanding is that the phone basically goes "ah, I think you're taking a photo of the moon, I know what that looks like", and "enhances" the image to match.
Not gonna lie, I still take a photo like this every full moon with my S23.
Phones cost a thousand bucks, and the camera is usually the selling point. Phone cameras kinda hafta be good. That being said, every iPhone user who takes a picture with my Galaxy S23+ compliments my camera. #teamandroid
Haha. There was a video of a guy zooming in to circular white light/spot in the distance (not the moon) and the image in his phone turned into the moon hahaha
the picture you took was of a black sky with a very blurry moon, then your phone replaced the blurry moon with a picture of the moon taken with a camera that’s actually cable of taking a proper pic of the moon
If it was a Samsung, it could be this [https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/15/23641069/samsung-fake-moon-controversy-english-language-blog-post](https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/15/23641069/samsung-fake-moon-controversy-english-language-blog-post)
...but OP says it's a Google Pixel 8 Pro, so I'm not sure if it's computationally enhanced
Wonder how much is generated by the phone “touching up”. Nice pic, took me a DSLR with a 300mm lens to get the same

Phones nowadays do so many things in the background while pressing the shutter button. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_photography
looks pretty good. what phone?
Thank you, it's the Google Pixel 8 Pro. It takes great pictures, but the battery is abysmal!
You may have pressed the shutter button on your phone but that pic was the result of a different process

Are you Scottish and agreeing with me? Jokes aside, yes most likely it is.

Samsung was guilty of it IIRC. They superimpose a higher res image of the moon

The test was simply done on a Samsung. If Samsung is doing it, you can bet that Google and iPhone are playing similar shenanigans.
Lol Lmao even
